Group 1 Winner No Speak Alexander Retired

Group 1 winner No Speak Alexander (Ire) (Shalaa {Ire}–Rapacity Alexander {Ire}, by Dandy Man {Ire}) has been retired from racing and will begin broodmare duties from 2022, trainer Jessica Harrington announced via Twitter on Wednesday.

Bred by Noel O'Callaghan's Mountarmstrong Stud, the €190,000 Goffs Orby RNA yearling raced for Charles, Noel and Paul O'Callaghan. She won at second asking at Roscommon last July and ran fourth in the G2 Prix du Calvados in August of 2020 before taking second in a listed race at Leopardstown that September. The bay ended her juvenile season with another fourth, this time in the G3 Weld Park S.

No Speak Alexander kicked off this season with a win in the G3 Athasi S. at The Curragh in May before running third in the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas. Unplaced in the G1 Prix Rothschild, she ecked out a neck victory in the G1 Matron S. at Leopardstown on Sept. 11 and ended her career with a sixth in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 2. The daughter of listed winner Rapacity Alexander retires with a mark of 10-3-1-1 and $347,921 in earnings.

“No Speak Alexander headed off to her retirement yesterday,” Harrington tweeted. “She won three of 10 including [the] G1 Coolmore Matron S. at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend and also [was] a brilliant third in the G1 Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas. Best of luck for the future, we look forward to your progeny.”

Her dam is a full-sister to Hong Kong champion Peniaphobia (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), as well as a half to the GI Molecomb S. third Safari Sunset (Ire) (Fayruz {GB}).

Can The Horseracing Integrity And Safety Act Entice More Vets To Regulatory Work?

The veterinary shortage in the United States has reached an almost critical juncture, but those behind the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act believe they may be able to entice more vets to regulatory work with the promise of a work-life balance.

As an increased veterinary presence at tracks in California is required, the lack of veterinarians in the state – and throughout the United States – is becoming more apparent, reports Thoroughbred Racing Commentary.

[Story Continues Below]

There are multiple reasons why fewer students are studying veterinary medicine and even fewer are interested in pursuing large animal practice, including debt, stress, mental health concerns, and work-life balance. The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA), which is slated to launch in July of 2022, is hoping to entice more vets into the regulatory side of veterinary medicine.

In racing, veterinarians typically fall into two camps: vets employed by racetracks and vets employed by state racing commissions. In California, the veterinarian's scope of duties now extends well beyond that of a pre-race examiner: vets in the state now are asked to monitor training, help with entry review panels and sit on necropsy review programs.

Dr. Dionne Benson, chief veterinary officer for The Stronach Group (TSG), has a unique proposal to attract vets into regulatory work: The creation of a fellowship program aimed at vet school graduates who have completed an internship, but who would like to do something more before entering into full-time practice.

Benson suggests the fellowship be a two-year program split between academic studies and practical experiences, with the student graduating from the program with a master's degree in regulatory or sports medicine.

Proponents are hopeful the job of a regulatory vet may soon be streamlined through HISA's creation of a nationwide veterinarian database, which could better allow regulatory veterinarians to communicate about required tasks and prevent the role from being too overwhelming. Another potentially large draw for regulatory vet work is the standardized hours.
